  • Dr. Yahuaca took time to explain an injury with visual models, answered all of our questions, and has an easy-going bedside manner. His assistant, Sonia, was equally personable and efficiently helped us with all of our insurance needs. Thanks to you both!

  • Dr.Yahuaca is a caring person, that alone says a lot. We had no idea who he was or how good of a doctor he was when my grandson broke both of his wrists at school.

    ~ Daniel Espino ~

  • This is the most caring and compassionate doctor I’ve ever met. Listens intently to your concerns. Very knowledgeable and has had very advanced training so he definitely knows what he’s doing. Can’t say enough good things about my experience. I hope he doesn’t change like most doctors do and become callous and uncaring after they get older.

    ~ Jessie Hope ~

  • Dr. Yuahaca is not only competent in his field, he is patient, kind and also has a light spirit about him. I had been to other known doctors in the area and until I seen him, I wasn’t properly diagnosed. He was able to diagnose me on the first visit and went on to treat me. I no longer have an issue with either of my hands. I can utilize them as I want now. A big thank you to this personable and knowledgeable doctor!

  • My past experiences with LBIJ were awful but I had never been to the Michigan City office. The staff and Dr. Yahuaca are exceptional. I recommend this office over Chesterton or Portage!

    ~ Brenda Martin ~

  • From the first time I met Dr Yahuaca I felt completely comfortable with his expertise. He's thorough in his examination and explanation of the problem. We tried medication then therapy and he never pushed for surgery. As he says" you can't undo surgery ". My surgical experience with him was excellent. Repair of rotator cuff tear and decompression of acromion and ORIF of the Os Acromiale that I had. All with minimal pain! I would recommend him to any one needing surgery on their shoulder.

    ~ Cristina Granado ~

  • From start to finish, the staff was amazing and friendly. Dr. Yahuaca was nice and listened to me about my problem without interrupting like most doctors do. I would definitely recommend this Dr and staff to anyone!

  • Great experience getting my mother's broken wrist treated.

    ~ Bruce Borawski ~

  • I met him for the first time and he was very pleasant. He listened to my history(of my hand pain and other problems).He’s very kind . I got two shots , one in each hand. I have been dealing with my hands problems for a year and a half. So if the shots work then it’s definitely CTS. Then we go from there.And he also looked at my X-rays and wanted me to go to PT. I really appreciate him and he’s also quite handsome😊 Keep up the good work and see you when I come back!

    ~ Pesto Sauce ~

  • Dr. Yahuaca had to put a cast on my wild 4 yr old. Dr. Yuhuaca was extremely patient & made sure to let my son know what he was doing so my son didn't get scared at all. Scheduling & billing were a breeze as well. I would return if we ever need help again. And I definitely recommend his services to you! 😊
